This spring, Ameren Missouri introduced a plan of more than five billion dollars and for more than two thousand grid infrastructure projects, to be completed in the next five years, under SB 564 passed by the Missouri General Assembly in the 2018 regular session. Plus a billion dollars for wind energy next year.

Missouri State Senator Ed Emery sponsored SB 564 and PUF asked him for his perspectives below. Ameren Missouri's President Michael Moehn directed the Smart Energy Plan filing and you can find his perspectives below as well. The filing was submitted to the Missouri Public Service Commission and Chair Ryan Silvey also spoke with PUF about this as did TJ Berry, another key legislator in the passage of SB 564, and Dan Mehan, the CEO of the state's Chamber of Commerce. Read on to get a full picture of this landmark change to Missouri's public utility law and the massive grid upgrade that is in the works as a result. 

Michael Moehn, President, Ameren Missouri

PUF's Steve Mitnick: What is your role?

Michael Moehn: I have the privilege of being the president of Ameren Missouri. It's an awesome responsibility, getting to oversee the overall operations in the state of Missouri. We're making sure that we're delivering safe, secure, affordable and cleaner energy to 1.2 million customers' homes, or about three million people in Missouri.
